The reason to include it is that it is proper coding. If you want to include the links for tutorials but also encourage sloppy coding then you are doing more harm than good. >I don't understand your comment about the border tag, since I said it's not >needed unless he's using a table. >Why give him hspace and vspace without explaining what they mean? Clint did not give him the hspace or vspace tags in his example, he gave the height and width tags. To quote from the O'Reilly HTML reference, HSPACE and VSPACE "define a margin that acts as whitespace padding around the visual content of the IMG element. The HSPACE establishes a margin on the left and right sides of the image rectangle; the VSPACE establishes a margin on the top and bottom sides of the image rectangle." While Height and width "define the dimensions for the space on the page reserved for the image, regardless of the actual size of the image. For best performance (and backward script compatibility), you should set these attributes to the actual height and width of the source image. If you supply a different measure, the browser scales the image to fit the space defined by these attributes." >I posted yesterday what he needed. > >FYI, you should have a height and width tag in there too so >the images will load faster. > ><A href="faux2.html"><IMG src="tablebathumb.jpg" alt="Before >and after" >border="0"></A> > >Should be: > ><A href="/tablebat.jpg"><IMG src="tablebathumb.jpg" >alt="Before and after" width=xx height=xx border="0"></A> > >The border tag will indeed give an image a border around it's >perimeter even when it's not within a table. :-) Since he >doesn't know HTML, putting the larger image on a separate new >HTML page would just make things more difficult for him >rather than to just have a non HTML browser window open with >only the image and no source code to worry about. >-Clint > >God Bless Us All >Clint Hamilton, Owner >http://OrpheusComputing.com � Peter Kaulback I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
